Novel vitamin E chelate siderophore derivatives and their VV FeIII complexes have been synthesised the chemical biological properties evaluated. In particular, α- δ-tocopherol with bis-methyldroxylamino triazine (α-tocTHMA) (δ-tocDPA) as well complexes, [V2VO3(α-tocTHMA)2] [V2IVO3(δ-tocTHMA)2], characterised by infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic (EPR) ultra v...

VANADIUM COMPOUNDS are used in dye, ink, and glass manufacture, as an alloy component in the steel industry, and as a catalyst in the production of sulfuric acid. Toxic exposures have been reported in the extraction of vanadium from ores and residues (1-5) and in the cleaning of burners fired with vanadium-bearing oil (6-8). The outstanding symptom associated with excessive inhalation of vanadi...

The antidiabetic activities of vanadium(V) and -(IV) prodrugs are determined by their ability to release active species upon interactions with components of biological media. The first X-ray absorption spectroscopic study of the reactivity of typical vanadium (V) antidiabetics, vanadate ([V(V)O4](3-), A) and a vanadium(IV) bis(maltolato) complex (B), with mammalian cell cultures has been perfor...

VO2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of Al-MCM-41 designated as VO2+/Al-MCM-41 or VOL2/Al-MCM-41, were prepared and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, BET nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. VO2+/Al-MCM-41 and VOL2/Al-MCM-41 were found to catalyze...

Vanadium is a transitional metal with an ability to generate reactive oxygen species in the biological system. This work was designed to assess memory deficits in mice chronically exposed to vanadium. A total of 132 male BALB/c mice (4 weeks old) were used for the experiment and were divided into three major groups of vanadium treated, matched controls, and animals exposed to vanadium for three...

A large number of unexploited low-grade vanadium-titanium magnetite deposits have been found in the Chao-yang area of China in recent years. The reserves are estimated at more than 20 billion tons. A mineralogical study of raw sample indicated that it was a typical low-grade vanadium-titanium magnetite ore with weathering. Most of vanadium-titanium magnetite was replaced by martite and sphene, ...

The aims of this study were to clarify the effects of high vanadium on the renal cell cycle and apoptosis in broilers. 420 one-day-old avian broilers were divided into six groups and fed on a control diet (vanadium 0.073 mg/kg), and five high vanadium diets (vanadium 5 mg/kg, high vanadium group I; 15 mg/kg, high vanadium group II; 30 mg/kg, high vanadium group III; 45 mg/kg, high vanadium grou...
